How the Battery Works


·                                 The battery in a car provides enough amps to start the engine and then provide volts to electrical demands. Once the car engine starts and is running, the alternator restores the amps and voltage spent from the battery and provides constant backup for the battery. An alternator does not fully recharge a car battery, however, so when one is close to the end of its life, it does not put out enough amperage needed to turn the starter. Charging it will temporarily assist in getting the engine to start, but may not provide reliability on the next intended start-up.
Batteries contain a diluted solution of sulfuric acid, which has a chemical reaction to the lead plates that soak in it. This reaction makes the batteries volatile and susceptible to ignite if a spark occurs. A flammable mixture of hydrogen and oxygen escapes from the vents of the battery, so if you charge it incorrectly, you are risking a battery explosion.

I just saw a company called The Battery Factory. From the looks of it, they sell all kinds of batteries. I wish I knew more about car batteries so I wonder if I could go to them and learn a little bit from them?

If you have a bad battery in your car for too long it can affect the alternator. It may have to work harder than it should if you don't replace an old battery. The cost then goes way up if you have to replace both.

You mentioned that charging the battery might help with the start-up but not the next one. Could you clarify what you mean by that? Couldn't charging the battery provide enough charge for subsequent start-ups? I don't know as much as you do and wouldn't mind hearing your opinion on the matter.

Thanks for posting this. My car battery has been dying a lot. I keep having to jump it. It doesn't seems to work very well though because it just dies again. I want to learn why this is happening.

My car is always dead when I go out to drive it. I think it needs a new battery. Where can I get one of these?

Wow, I did not realize that there were so many essential components to a car battery. It was really interesting what you said about making sure it has enough voltage to get the car to start. You can definitely feel the difference with batteries that have high voltage verses ones with low voltage. It is the difference between your car just barely starting and a powerful starting sound.
